But if you live in Sabden, the only one you have to worry about is the new moon. As in complete darkness. Better pull your curtains shut & stay inside because that’s when kids disappear. It’s the late 1960’s & in separate stories we follow 3 teenagers just before they’re snatched off the street. Along the way we run into characters like Dwane the gravedigger & a young new cop named Florence. This came out before the full length novel. But i think I actually appreciated it more because I’d read the book first. Knowing what was to come made it creepier & it was a pleasure to bump into the characters again, especially Dwane. It’s a quick snack, just 46 pages & it reminded me just how much I’m looking forward to The Poisoner. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieThe Craftsman (0.5)
A gripping and unsettling short story set in the world of The Craftsman, from bestseller Sharon Bolton A dark moon is rising. A perfect black circle, barely visible in the night sky, the dark moon casts its void over the wind-scorched moor, over the soaring mass of a great limestone hill, and over the town that cowers in its shadow. The dark moon is the absence of moon before the slender silver crescent of the new moon appears again and people can breath a little easier. The month is March and the night is clear and cold, black as pitch. The full moon in March is known as the Worm Moon, welcome despite its ominous name, marking as it does the end of winter and the emergence of earthworms from the thawing ground. Dark moons have never been named, although they are sometimes called the dead moons. The dark moons reign over nights when people stoke up their fires, draw their curtains tighter and try to think happy thoughts. In the town of Sabden at the foot of Pendle Hill in Lancashire they usually fail. In Sabden's soot-blackened terraced houses, the sleepers' dreams darken when the moon leaves the sky. Infants wake up cold, mothers tremble with elusive fears for their children and old folks slip a little closer to death. Only the Craftsman welcomes the dark moon. Alone in the town, he is awake, and ready to start work. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Bolton has published a couple of short stories before that relate to her detective series and these were complete stories. I am just complaining about paying 2 bucks for a story fragment. ( )
